Just like that, we're one "Hey, Look! That's Me!" pledge away from unlocking all the FROG SWEAT Round One Stretch Goals! Want to be drawn into a horror graphic novel? Join us! www.NightmareWorld.com

This is a silly doodle I did of a Halloween party in the 1980s. A bunch of attendees are 80s icons, but many are wearing Halloween costumes of different 80s icons. 🙃

A punk couldn’t ask for a better end to the 2026 horror panels than with the panel from yesterday! It featured Manny Gomez, @dirkmanning.bsky.social , and @daviddoub.bsky.social and these dudes are truly horror aficionados! Listen now, or watch on my YT channel here: youtube.com/live/7gZpQhd...

Tuesday, October 27th. Noon EST. One final return to NIGHTMARE WORLD when FROG SWEAT emerges from the swamp. You asked. We listened. Everyone suffers. The frogs are not what they seem.
It is always such a privilege and honor to chat with @thecomicspals.bsky.social at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social! This year we chatted about the present -- and future -- of Source Point Press as well as my return to NIGHTMARE WORLD with FROG SWEAT coming as part of "Witchstarter" this Tuesday!

The nightmare is not over yet... www.NightmareWorld.com Tuesday, October 27th. Noon EST. The frogs are not what they seem. (Click to get a one-time notification on launch!)
I greatly appreciate the kind words from @dirkmanning.bsky.social. The X-Men through a horror lens are big shoes to fill. Check out CLEAN UP CREW to see what the fuss is about. Two clerks fight vampire janitors in a hardware store. Just like Wolverine maybe? www.kickstarter.com/projects/jam...
Finally got to see OTHER MOMMY with @joshmalerman.bsky.social tonight and I found the film quite enjoyable. Sure, the book is much better... but... duh... of course it is! This was a fun flick.
This Saturday I'm the featured guest at Awaken Haunt in Leslie, Michigan! Come out, experience this epic 42,000 square feet haunt which features four different attractions, indoor waiting, a full bar, and me selling and signing my graphic novels in the gift shop from 7PM until Midnight!
Last week was, personally and professionally, my best @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social yet. Now it's time to get back to the normal grind.
